FAMILY

ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif) protein family

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	extracellular matrix

basic FUNCTION	a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease, cell surface adhesion protein, procollagen I/II aminopeptide processing enzyme
	extracellular metalloproteinase responsible for cleaving the N-propeptides of procollagens I-III
	cleaving the propeptides of type I and II collagen prior to fibril assembly and may be playing a role in development that is independent of its role in collagen biosynthesis

CELLULAR PROCESS	protein, post translation
	protein, degradation
